Thanks for all the kind words!

If anyone wants a closer look (I would say about 10-12 feet is optimum ;) we may be at BOTC in a couple of weeks.

Cheers,

James

Yep, as the volk who got "squeemish" reading about hand painting the
vanagon, I gotta say it looks great!

A week's worth of one's labor to color sand/buff/polish/caress is
worth how much?  Then again, bonding w/ your vanagon for a week is
priceless?

YMMV,
